Why is it again that snipers lose all sway when crouched? I mean, when does a sniper NOT crouch? Why is it cool for them to sit way up in the mountains, out of range of anything aside from other snipers, and not be penalized in any way for it? This never really used to bother me but it seems like every game I get into there are just more and more snipers, and it's frankly pretty damn annoying. I think a lot of this is simply because of the fact that you lose all sway when crouched. If you still had at least a little bit to deal with, no big deal, at least then I know you aren't just pointing and clicking, you're actually engaging with the game in some way.
Oh, and screw skirmish. I'm only ever playing skirmish with a full group on mics, people are far too stupid to play skirmish with pubbies >_< |

It's not that easy to pull two quick shots on a sprinting (and jumping, which is unrealistic and annoying) target 300 meters away, even with out sway. Besides, most snipers don't get but mayby 6 kills per match (that's a rough average). The real benefit is the surveilance they provide.
Most snipers I've seen go 10/0 + just sitting back and getting one shot kills with the charge sniper rifle. And why is it unrealistic to jump? |

Did you actually just tell me to use a LAV missile turret against a sniper?
Do you see what's wrong with what you just said? |

I'm notoriously bad at sniping in all FPS games, yet even I have been able to get 5-15 kills with one or no deaths when I load up as a sniper. The biggest issue is that crouching completely eliminates sway. It should greatly reduce it, but it should never completely eliminate it. Also, I believe there's no bullet travel in DUST, so there's no need to lead shots or anything like that, since the instant you pull the trigger the enemy takes damage.
I'm more or less concerned with the fact that it just makes for very boring gameplay, and like someone else mentioned, there's not much point in pulling out expensive fits when you're just going to get sniped trying to take objectives. That partially plays into the ISK rewards this build, which are sad, but still. |

I still think 0 sway is an issue, but you raise good points. |

Eternal Technique wrote:Please do not add scope sway while crouched it takes away a sniper's ability to be consistent and would make them useless imo.
See, I disagree. I think having a slight amount of sway while crouched would only take away the consistency of BAD snipers, while good ones will adjust to it just fine. There should never be no sway unless they let you drop prone and put the rifle on a stand. |

Thank you for the first hand feedback FURRY, I hope CCP realizes how they've taken a lot of the required skill out of what should be one of the most skill heavy roles in the game. |
